With 2013 looming large on the horizon, and much of the holidays behind us, we look forward to our Times Square demonstration on January 17th and the more than 60 events we have planned for Spartan venues around the globe in 2013. Before we set foot on a race course in 2013, we want to give back to those hit hard by October's super storm Sandy. After all, Spartans give generously. So we gave our friends at NYCares a call so we could find a way to roll up our sleeves and do what we do best – get dirty.
When we had to cancel our NYC Times Square event in the wake of Super Storm Sandy, we had no idea how much damage the storm would bring to the East Coast. As we prepare to return on Thursday, January 17for our demonstration at Broadway Plaza between 42-43rd streets from 11AM – 2PM we want to show New York that Spartans also give generously with a two-day volunteer opportunity Saturday, January 12th and Sunday, January 13th to help those still rebuilding in the wake of the devastation.
Spartan Race is pleased to announce a two-day volunteer opportunity in conjunction with NYCares to help Muck Out some homes in Far Rockaway, Queens! Nothing like doing some good and getting dirty in the process! With nearly a dozen of our Street Team already on board, we can't wait to get started!
The Spartan Muck Out will involve clearing debris and damaged items from homes, and removing drywall and other damaged parts of the buildings and will be led by experienced NYCares staff members or trained, experienced volunteers.
New York Cares was founded in the late 1980's by a group of friends who wanted to take action against serious social issues facing the city and is now the city's largest volunteer organization, running volunteer programs for 1,300 nonprofits, city agencies, and public schools.
There are different tasks at each location and volunteers should come prepared and flexible to participate in the entire process.
Date: Saturday, January 12 and Sunday, January 13th:
Volunteering Spartans will board a bus to Far Rockaway, Queens at 8AM where you will work to clear and clean out homes for residents. Once on site, all volunteers sign waivers, are given an overview, safety briefing, and provided supplies including tools, tyvek suits, and n100 dust masks (if necessary). Volunteers are then divided into groups of between 8 and 12 and are directed to a home to work with. Each volunteer work crew is led by an experienced staff member or a trained, experienced volunteer.
Time: Bus departure time: 8:00am
Bus return time: 6pm (depending on traffic)
Bus meet-up: 47 Trinity Place at the corner of Trinity Place and Rector Street in Downtown Manhattan. http://goo.gl/maps/oSl7B
To join in the clean-up process, Step 1 – Create an account here: http://www.newyorkcares.org/users/create_account.php
Step 2 – Go to this link and click sign up for Saturday, Sunday, or both. (Link:http://www.newyorkcares.org/volunteer/volunteer_opportunities/search_projects/projcodesearch.php?projcode=Spartan+Race&location=&neighborhood=&dow=&x=0&y=0&pass=1&page=1)
Step 3 – Show up and muck out!
Once you sign up you will receive an auto email with more details and my contact info.
Give back and get dirty!
There is no better way to begin the New Year than with a chance to do good and then a Spartan Race experience in Times Square that's never been done before! We look forward to returning to New York in the New Year!

BARSTOW • The City Council will hold a special meeting next week, as they move toward a decision to fill the empty council seat.
Eleven applications were submitted for the open seat which was left vacant after Julie Hackbarth-McIntyre took her elected position as mayor in November.
Instead of holding a special election, estimated to cost $50,000, the Council will appoint a new member following an interview process. Interviews are scheduled for Monday evening at City Hall and will be open to the public.
At the regular council meeting Monday, three public comments were made in opposition to the process, suggesting that the third highest vote-getter from the November ballot, former councilman Timothy Saenz, should get the seat.
"I'm concerned about this whole process and I know it's the one that you've chosen but I really wonder if it's really what the people want," said Robert Haroldsson of Barstow, during the meeting.
"I do understand it's expensive to run another election. I can see that. So instead of going through this whole process — what is wrong with the third choice? The people voted for the third choice," Haroldsson said.
Two other public comments mirrored Haroldsson's.
"I think that man (Saenz) ought to be given the opportunity more than anybody else because he did run," Ted Aleman said.
In response to public comments, councilman Richard Harpole said he was opposed to re-electing Saenz because of his potential to sue the city, referring to a complaint Saenz filed to the Department of Fair Employment and Housing in April after former Barstow Police Chief Dianne Burns allegedly made threatening and harassing statements about him.
"I cannot in clear conscious support a person while sitting on this body who took action to sue the city, and that's why I support the appointment process that we've decided to implement," Harpole said.
Councilman Timothy Silva said he tried before the November election to create the option to vote for three seats, but it was not permitted because of state laws. He also said he was opposed to the idea of awarding the seat to the third highest vote-getter.
"We got to vote for two and if your third vote would not have been that person, you've been robbed of the right to vote. You didn't get three votes," he said.
Former Councilman Saenz, who is one of the eleven applicants for the open seat, said he would love to continue to serve the city. He said he does not intend to sue, but took action in April for protection.
"I just followed the letter of the law to protect myself and my family," Saenz said.
The eleven applicants for the open seat are: Ted Baca, Richard Bremem, Gloria Darling, Merrill Gracey, Ruben Grijalva III, Michael Hernandez, Marilyn Kruse, Gussan Nassar, Timothy Saenz, Ved Shandil and Richard Troutman.

Higher pH Limits for Laundry Wastewater Makes Sense for Everyone
- Details
- Created on Thursday, 03 July 2003 03:46
- Written by Mike Jacobs
The laundry industry, and more particularly, the individuals within, has the same aspirations for obtaining a cleaner, more environmentally friendly world as does the general population. Our children will inherit the environment that we are making today.At it's heart, the laundry industry removes soil and dirt from laundered items to the water it is washed in, and then sends this wash water (effluent) to the local Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). If the effluent does not meet the quality requirements set by the POTW for incoming water, then the laundry must pre-treat the effluent before it sends it to the POTW. This should lead to cleaner effluent that the POTW can properly treat. Most of the time this works, and works very well in protecting the waterways, and allows the POTW to function at maximum efficiency.
But there is at least one case where interpretation of a regulation (upper pH limits) is actually causing more problems than it solves. When upper pH limits are set too low by a local POTW, it usually requires laundries to inject acid into their effluent. Salts formed by the addition of acids used to lower the pH are normally water soluble, so they ultimately end up in the water released from the POTW, increasing the chemical load of the treated water released to the environment. There are many additional reasons why having a high upper pH limit is beneficial to both the environment and the pocketbook of the launderer and the POTW that will be enumerated here.
For many large industrial launderers, the difficulties of too low an upper pH limit in some locations has required adding large quantities of acid, usually sulfuric acid, to their effluent for many years. Current estimates are about 50,000 gallons of sulfuric acid are being needlessly used by large industrial launderers to lower the pH of the effluent stream leaving a laundry. The actual overall quantities for the entire laundry industry may be several multiples of that number. Further, all of the US industrial base that has alkaline effluent could easily be an order of magnitude greater than that number.
To add insult to injury, many local POTW's must add alkaline materials to their incoming water because quite often the overall pH of the influent is acidic. This adds additional chemicals that ultimately end up in the water the POTW returns to the waterway.
USEPA Does Not Specify an Upper pH Limit
So why are upper pH limits set too low by some, but not all local POTW's? It is because the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has not specified an upper pH limitation in the regulation that governs pH limits (40 CFR x 403.5 (b)(2)). The regulation does specify a lower pH limit (5.0) since lower pH's can cause corrosive structural damage to POTW's.
The U.S. EPA does not specify an upper pH limitation in §403.5 because alkaline wastewater has a limited adverse effect on POTW collection and treatment systems. The Agency has acknowledged that the "upper limit for the pH established in many sewer-use regulations is not based upon a realistic appraisal of the effects. The neutralization of high-pH wastes before discharge to the sewer is usually detrimental." While the U.S. EPA imposes no upper pH limit, most local pretreatment regulations or ordinances do limit the upper range for wastewater pH discharges.
The many benefits to having a high (12.0 or greater), or no upper pH limit have been instituted by many larger municipalities.

Alkaline (high pH) wastewater offers benefits to sewage collection systems (sewers), wastewater treatment plants, and worker health and safety as follows:
- Benefits To Sewage Collection Systems
High-pH wastewater is typically not detrimental to the structural integrity of the sewer. When attempting to neutralize high-pH discharges, a sewer can be damaged by the accidental release and/or over-addition of pH adjustment chemicals (sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc.). The presence of high-pH wastewater helps to prevent damage from such incidents (alkali neutralizes acid). In addition, high-pH wastewater actually prevents odors and corrosion due to hydrogen sulfide gas as it limits the amount of dissolved sulfide available in the wastewater thus making it unavailable to escape into the sewer's atmosphere.
Continuous addition of strong alkalies to the sewer to obtain these benefits is generally neither practical nor cost effective. The same benefits can be attained—at no cost—by not mandating that industrial users (in our case launderers) lower wastewater pH before discharge to the sewer.
- Benefits To Wastewater Treatment Plants
A higher pH at the industrial user's point of discharge reduces or eliminates the need for adding caustic at the POTW to maximize treatment system removal efficiency. Neutralization of a high-pH wastewater with acid solubilizes metals. The addition of alkalinity through high-pH wastewater helps keep the pH within the acceptable range for activated sludge treatment operations. It also reduces the solubility of metal ions and thus metal-caused inhibition that can sometimes happen in a wastewater treatment plant's biological treatment systems (activated sludge units and aerobic and anaerobic digestion units.)
Increasing an industrial user's upper pH limit is a win-win proposition that can provide environmental benefits at no additional cost to either the launderer or the POTW. It may even be a money saver, as the cost of adding alkalinity to a POTW's biological treatment system to maintain optimum performance can be reduced or eliminated altogether.
- Benefits To Worker Health and Safety
Unnecessarily neutralizing an industrial user's high-pH wastewater increases the potential for harm to humans. The neutralization of high-pH wastewater with an acid can create health and safety problems for an industrial user's treatment system operator. Sulfuric acid, the acid of choice, is used in a concentrated form that can cause significant damage to a person's skin, eyes, and other membranes. Though all operators are provided with and are schooled in the proper use of safety equipment, accidents still can and do occur.
Why Don't All POTW's Adapt a Higher Upper pH Limit?
It would seem that such convincing evidence would cause all wastewater treatment plants to act appropriately, and as noted above, some already have increased their upper pH limits. But it is also true that changing the status quo presents it's own problems. Lack of a straightforward guidance from the U.S. EPA on why higher upper pH limits are beneficial seems to be the greatest hindrance to seeing wholesale increases to upper pH limits across the country. To this end, the Uniform & Textile Service Association (UTSA) has worked hard to document the science behind why a higher upper pH limit is so beneficial. UTSA is now in contact with the U.S. EPA, and with the science in hand, is trying to convince them to issue a straightforward ruling on why higher upper pH limits are better. Once that is accomplished it will be much easier for a launderer, and for that matter any industrial user, to request a higher upper pH limit.
Many thanks to the Uniform & Textile Services Association (UTSA) for the data used in this article. For further information on this important subject go to www.utsa.com and search for the phrase "upper pH."

Nursing Home Fire
GAINESVILLE, Ga. — Flames that began in a nursing home laundry dryer drew firefighters to the location. The fire was contained to the laundry room of the New Horizons Nursing Home and residents were not evacuated.


text: One way to make the tank appear larger is to run it hotter. TO prevent danger of scalding, you would then install a tempering valve at the tank. This will give you more hot water. But, if you can't do this work yourself, the labor to add the tempering valve would be in the same order as changing the tank. An electric tank could last a very long time, or it could die tomorrow. Hopefully, when they installed it, they installed a drain pan for the inevitable time when it does start to leak.

GNOME 2.30 Updates and Improves Desktop
With the release of GNOME 2.30, various improvements and changes went into the free Linux desktop.
Among the new features in GNOME 2.30 is split view mode for the Nautilus file manager. The Empathy IM and communication tool provides the option for sending files and the IRC function adds the /join and /nick commands. Tomboy Notes, according to the release notes, now starts "almost instantly" and synchronizes notes in the background without manual intervention.
The project reworked GNOME System Tools to make user management easier and safer, including an improved new user creation dialog. The System Tools now work with PolicyKit for authentication and the Unlock button for managing users and services was removed. The Epiphany Web browser provides a print preview; a right-click on a webpage downloads and saves objects on the page.
The release notes for GNOME 2.30 include download and installation instructions.
FinallyI have tears in my eyes! Split view for Nautilus! FINALLY!

here is the iphone 2g history.
1.-i upgraded to 3.0 and unlocked it those days when redsnow was just borning.
2.-one day out of nowhere, my mac stop detecting my iphone.
3.- i couldnt get music, blah blah... so i tried to restore, but the mac couldnt detect the iphone on recovery mode, normal mode or dfu mode. i tried pc, different cables,different iphone positions, but it wasn´t detected.
4.-a guy at some forum (i think it was this, i dont have good long term memory) told me that he solved it in the days of 2.2.1, by overwriting the file "lockdown" via ssh with a new one. well, i overwrite the file with the wrong one (i think i overwrite it with a lockdown file from a 2.2.1 iphone). i reboot my iphone, and, it didnt turn on anymore.
5.-the pineapple image showed everytime i turned on the iphone, but it couldnt get to the springboard, neither to have access to it via ssh, neither usb, recovery or dfu.
6.- i searched every forum for help, i got frustrated so i just forgot my old iphone and bought a new one.
7.-i remembered yesterday that i have a brick that could be repaired and make some money selling it.
what else can i try? do you think a guy at some cellphone repair shop can help me?

Pure, unsweetened gelatin is healing to the body, and as a bonus, it's helped me have longer, prettier, and healthier nails and hair! I use this product in my homemade, non-dairy yogurt to help thicken it, and its great in smoothies as well. I am using the SCD to heal my intestinal tract, so next I'll be making some homemade, healthy "jello".

I like this better than the collagen powder products. I just add it to water and gulp it down. Just be aware that it doesn't dissolve very well, so if you have trouble swallowing you might want to look for another option.
Taste well.

Chris Bono joined South Dakota State as wrestling head coach in the spring of 2012. Bono brought knowledge, excitement and a history of success to the Jackrabbit program.
In his first year as head coach of the South Dakota State Jackrabbits, Bono led the team to a 5-12 dual record, 1-4 Western Wrestling Conference record and fifth in the conference standings. The team qualified one wrestler for the NCAA Championships via the West Regional.
SDSU scored its most notable win and first win versus a major conference opponent since transitioning to Division I in its season opener. The Jacks defeated Big Ten opponent Indiana 19-18 at the Huskie Duals in DeKalb, Ill.
Coach Bono and the SDSU coaching staff ushered in a new era in Jackrabbit wrestling with the sixth-best recruiting class in the nation (The Open Mat, Amateur Wrestling News). Eight student-athletes joined the wrestling team on signing day, including three ranked by AWN. The No. 6 ranking made it the best recruiting class for any sport in the history of Jackrabbit athletics.
Bono was the first NCAA Division I wrestling coach to participate in the Samaritan's Feet movement, coaching the dual versus Simpson on Jan. 11 barefoot to raise awareness for the organization.
While leading the Jackrabbits, Coach Bono was also tabbed as coach for the U.S. Men's Freestyle team at the 2013 Pan American Championships. In the world event, Coach Bono led Team USA to a 13-point victory.
At the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Bono produced three Southern Conference titles, two All-Americans, and 19 NCAA qualifiers.
During his three seasons, UTC scheduled many nationally ranked teams. Bono coached the Mocs to wins over Ohio State in 2009 and 2010; the Buckeyes were ranked No. 8 at the time of the second loss.
Bono was named head coach at UTC on July 29, 2006 and wasted little time directing the Mocs to their 22nd Southern Conference championship. He coached nine wrestlers to the 2007 NCAA Championships, a feat matched only by Minnesota.
In his first season, Bono guided the Mocs to a 16-1 dual-match record, including an 11-match win streak to start the season and a victory at No. 14 Ohio State. He received high consideration for National Coach of the Year honors from RevWrestling.com.
Bono joined the UTC staff in 2005 after serving nine years as an assistant coach at Iowa State. He was the Cyclones' head assistant coach for five seasons.
In Bono's final year on the ISU staff, the Cyclones earned a third-place finish in the Big 12 Conference and a sixth-place showing at the NCAA Championships.
A native of Gilbert, Iowa, Bono was named the National Wrestling Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year in 2002 for his role in ISU's success.
Bono lettered at Iowa State from 1994-97 and ranks fifth on the program's all-time wins list with 130 victories. He won the NCAA 150-pound title as a junior.
A four-time NCAA participant, Bono placed fifth at the Nationals as a sophomore and second as a senior. As a freshman, he finished eighth at the Big Eight Conference Championships and was runner-up finish his sophomore year. Bono won the Big Eight title as a junior and was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler at the inaugural Big 12 Conference Championship in 1997. He was 115-17 his final three seasons.
Following his senior season, Bono wrestled as a freestyle competitor and defeated Doug Schwab, 5-4, to take third place at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials in Las Vegas, Nev.
In 2003, Bono won the 145.5-pound title at the U.S. Senior Freestyle National Championships in Las Vegas, qualifying for the World Team Trials in Indianapolis, Ind., where he was runner-up. Bono was a U.S. World Cup team member, earning the gold medal at the 2003 World Cup Wrestling Championships in Boise, Idaho, and was a member of the national team at the 2003 Titan Games in San Jose, Calif.
Bono earned the U.S. Senior Freestyle No. 1 national ranking at 145.5 pounds and a spot on the U.S. World Team. He began the year with a first-place showing at the Dave Schultz Memorial in Colorado Springs, Colo., followed by a fourth-place finish at the Kiev Grand Prix in Kiev, Ukraine. Bono won a bronze medal at the Pan American Championships in Caracara, Venezuela, and placed third at the U.S. Freestyle National Championships in Las Vegas, earning a berth to the World Team Trials.
At the 2002 World Team Trials, Bono swept through the mini-tournament beating Reggie Wright (Gator WC) of Colorado Springs, Colo., 3-1 and Schwab (Hawkeye WC) of Iowa City, Iowa, 3-2 to advance to the finals. In the 145.5-pound championship, Bono defeated Jamill Kelly (Gator WC) of Stillwater, Okla., 3-1 and 3-0, earning his second consecutive World Team Trials title.

However, the U.S. World Team did not compete at the World Championships in Tehran, Iran.
Bono captured top honors at the 2004 NYAC Invitational with a victory in the finals over 2004 NCAA champion Jesse Jantzen, formerly of Harvard. He also earned a 66-kilogram title at the 20th annual Sunkist International Open with a win in the finals over former 2003 NCAA 149-pound champion and current Arizona State assistant coach Eric Larkin.
Bono competed at the 2005 World Championships in September in Budapest, Hungary. At the 2005 World Team Trials, Bono, the No. 1 seed, captured the title at 66 kilograms by defeating Jared Lawrence two matches to none.

Stories behind crops quiz photos
By TOM J. BECHMAN
Your December Indiana Prairie Farmer featured 10 pictures in the annual Indiana Prairie Farmer/Beck's Hybrids Crops Knowledge contest. If you don't have your issue handy, visit www.IndianaPrairieFarmer.com on the Web, click "More Indiana Prairie Farmer," then "Magazines Online." You'll find the story on Page 7 in the December issue.
Now it's time to reveal the winners of free seed and the details behind each picture.
Key Points
• Winners announced for Crops Knowledge contest.
• Up-and-down year produced near-record corn yields.
• Plenty of unusual symptoms were observed in 2009.
No one could have forecast near-record corn yields when the bulk of the crop was planted during the last 10 days of May. Rules of thumb went out the window. So did weather records. It was the coolest July ever, no doubt contributing to better-than-expected yields.
But it also contributed to the highest moisture contents in years. And it turned out to be the toughest fall harvest since 1972. A strong dose of ear molds wrapped up the season.
Before bidding adieu to 2009, see what you can learn.
Meet the 3 top winners of the Crops Knowledge competition
Congratulations to Allison Coble, Brownsburg; Joe Little, Ambia; and Ed Malecki, Kouts, for taking first, second and third, respectively, in the Indiana Prairie Farmer/Beck's Hybrids Crops Knowledge contest.
Coble answered nine questions correctly and received six bags of Beck's Hybrids seed corn. Little and Malecki both gave eight right answers. By the luck of the draw, Little earned six bags of Beck's soybeans. Malecki took third. He'll receive either six bags of Beck's seed wheat, or an equivalent prize.
Thanks to everyone who participated. Correct answers are listed along with the picture that prompted each question.
SPRING FEVER: Six bags of free soybean seed will help Joe Little get excited about spring planting.
READY TO ROLL: Taking third place in the contest put a smile on Ed Malecki's face.
A classic case: Do soil testing
The fourth cutting was dark green and tall. Hay already cut smelled like a million bucks. Who knew trouble was only a missed fertilizer application away?
Here's question #4: The soil is actually running low in: a) potash; b) boron; c) phosphorus; d) can't tell by looking at crop. Both answers c and d are correct.
"This is why you must have soil tests," Jim Camberato told a Purdue Forage Day crowd on the Eric and Carrie Miles farm in Wayne County.
Camberato found 13 to 16 parts per million of phosphorus, or 26 to 32 pounds per acre. The critical level is 15 ppm for many crops, but 25 ppm for alfalfa.
"It could be limiting growth, but it still looked green and healthy," he notes. To raise phosphorus levels, he recommended applying DAP or MAP fertilizers containing phosphorus.
Potash lesson
Alfalfa is a big user of potash. However, potassium levels were 130 to 140 ppm, well above the critical level of 100 ppm. The critical level for potassium is also tied to cation exchange capacity.
You wouldn't likely get a response to potash at those levels, Camberato notes. However, alfalfa removes 50 pounds per ton. Annual applications of potash are recommended, typically after the first cutting.
#4. GREEN GOLD: Phosphorus soil test levels were "iffy," even though this crop was still healthy.
#7. TINY TIM-SIZED: Lack of rain, not genetics, produced this small ear.
#10. LOOK, MOM — No brace roots! One hot, dry week in an otherwise wet, cool summer fried these roots.
Who said it was a cool, wet summer?
Not everyone was blessed with rainfall and cool weather. Photo #7 was snapped in Jasper County in early September. The question was: Shorter-than-normal ear size due to a) dry weather; b) insect feeding; c) wet weather; d) gray leaf spot. The correct answer is a.
Soils are sandy there, notes Ben Grimme of Beck's Hybrids. Nevertheless, rainfall was scarce, too, even though it was plentiful elsewhere.
This field was next door to the field with western bean cutworm. Herculex stopped western bean cutworm.
Starve in land of plenty
Late June featured the hottest five days of summer. Photo #10 was snapped in early July. The question: Dark, stubby roots developed because: a) weather turned dry; b) herbicide injury; c) too wet; d) felt like it. The answer is a.
This set of roots tried to develop during the hot week. Tom Jordan, Purdue University weed control specialist, looked closely for herbicide injury. Instead, he concluded hot, dry weather at the wrong time cooked these roots.
It's tough to show that strip cropping will pay off
Various early-adopters, innovators and those on the bleeding edge have experimented with strip cropping. Here's the question from the December Crops Knowledge quiz: Farmers try strips since: a) corn yields more; b) beans yield more; c) can't decide what to plant. The answer is a.
Providing more outside rows to capture extra sunlight should boost corn yields. Proving it and making it work consistently are two different things.
Beck's Hybrids, Atlanta, Ind., studied strips in its practical farm research studies for five years. Toby Ripberger, in charge of Beck's practical farm research plots, notes in a recent report that the strip-crop system lost an average of $65.60 per acre last season. Corn yields were 222.4 bushels per acre for strips, versus 224.5 for blocks. Soybean yields were nearly 14 bushels per acre less in strips.
The system produced a profit compared to block planting only in 2005, at $24 per acre.
#6. DOUBLE-TAKE TIME: You see random fields of strip cropping, but it isn't mainstream.
#3. BUGGED BEANS: Japanese beetle's bark is usually worse than its bite.
#5. UGLY! UGLY! UGLY! Western bean cutworm larvae started this mess, then left.
No pests welcome
One perennial problem that looks worse than it is and one new problem that winds up worse than it looks made up the insect portion of this year's crops quiz.
The question for picture #3 was: Insect likely responsible for damage: a) Japanese beetle; b) aphid; c) Mexican bean beetle. The correct answer is a.
The Purdue University "Corn and Soybean Field Guide," compiled by Corey Gerber, says it takes more than 40% defoliation in prebloom, more than 15% during blooming to pod fill, and greater than 25% defoliation after pod fill to justify spraying. That refers to defoliation of the entire plant, not just a few leaves. Spraying wasn't justified here.
Tough pest
Here's a fooler. Mold and sprouts weren't the root cause of trouble. The question for #5 was: First cause of damage was: a) pink mold; b) white mold; c) rain-soaked husks; d) western bean cutworm. The answer is d.
Three to five western bean cutworm larvae attacked this ear in late August. This triple-stack hybrid didn't contain Herculex. Corn with Herculex or SmartStax traits is resistant. Secondary pathogens poured in later.
Purdue confirmed western bean cutworm larvae in Indiana in 2009.
Weed control vs. weed eradication
Do you want to minimize yield loss due to weeds, or annihilate every weed? Your answer determines how much you'll invest in weed control.
Here's the question asked in the December crops quiz. This field was sprayed with glyphosate: a) once; b) twice; c) three times; d) wasn't sprayed. The answer is a.
Good burndown ahead of no-till soybeans is key, notes Tom Jordan, Purdue University weed control specialist. Some folks get by with one pass of glyphosate on Roundup Ready soybeans. Others rely on two passes. Still others use a soil-applied residual herbicide first.
A one-pass approach certainly won't be weed-free. But if weed pressure is light and your goal is minimizing yield loss, it may be sufficient. On the other hand, this year's lower price for glyphosate may entice you to invest in a second application.
Get most from herbicide
Other tips for getting the most from glyphosate include:
• Don't cut rates. Stick to labeled rates, especially to get tough weeds.
• Choose correct nozzles. Use nozzles that reduce drift.
• Avoid poor weather conditions. Glyphosate won't work as well if applied when cool.
• Use recommended surfactants. Follow label directions when deciding what to add.
• Consider adding other herbicides. Some newer herbicides help on tough weeds.
#8. ECONOMICAL WEED CONTROL: Mike Mouzin and his father, Joe, Vincennes, raised soybeans with minimal herbicide expense using glyphosate over Roundup Ready soybeans.
#9. WHERE DID ALL THE GREEN GO? Experts suspect the cause was nitrogen burn.
What made green corn turn brown?
It was the tallest, greenest corn anywhere one week, then speckled with dying tissue the next. Here's the question posed in the December Crops Knowledge quiz: Bleached leaves resulted from: a) liquid nitrogen; b) too much sun; c) herbicide injury.
There were two possible explanations — herbicide injury or nitrogen burn. The correct answer is a.
Tom Jordan, a Purdue University weed control specialist, unrolled the leaves and took a closer look.
The pattern of damage didn't match herbicide injury. Instead, he suspected nitrogen burn.
As it turns out, liquid nitrogen was applied with drops. However, it's possible booms rode up occasionally, allowing liquid N to reach leaves. Higher spots were affected most.
The corn soon grew out of the damage.
What's the take-home message? Nitrogen can burn leaves if it contacts them directly. Make sure your application equipment functions properly.
Both disease and nutrient deficiencies hurt leaves
Dave Nanda of Indianapolis, a crops consultant and plant breeder, expected a long summer when he held the leaf in photo #1 in early July. Question #1: These disease lesions are: a) southern leaf blight; b) rust; c) gray leaf spot; d) due to air pollution. The answeris c.
The Purdue "Corn and Soybean Field Guide" says, "Warm, humid weather with long dew periods favor the disease. Symptoms may appear on lower leaves during early July, but late July and August are the periods of greatest disease development on upper leaves."
When Nanda returned later, symptoms looked the same. The shift toward cooler weather slowed the disease. It wasn't a factor in this field, even with a susceptible hybrid and no fungicide applied.
Tell-tale signs
Here's question #2: These plants are deficient in: a) sulfur; b) nitrogen; c) potash; d) phosphorus; e) tender care. It's b. According to the Purdue field guide, classic symptoms are: "stunted, spindly plants with light- green or yellowish-green color, and/or V-shaped yellowing of older leaves, starting at the leaf tips."
These were end rows where someone didn't turn on the applicator in time.
#1. DISEASE HIT EARLY: What looked like a gray leaf spot fizzled.
#2. HUNGRY CORN: Deficiencies this severe usually result in yield loss.

'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Every year, the ANC exhibit hall brings together the best in school nutrition. But this year's will be hard to top. Who knew school nutrition could be so creative and forward thinking!
Walking around the hall was an experience in itself. Not only did I fulfill my daily nutritional requirements thanks to the endless supply of booth samples, (bless the maker of pre-made PB&J whole wheat sandwiches) but I got to check out some of the most advanced technology and software the industry has to offer, like touch screen computer hardware for cafeteria POS systems and advanced application scanning.
Sustainability was another big theme present throughout the hall. Safety and sanitation companies have truly gone green in their efforts to provide sustainable HACCP, food safety and sanitation solutions for school nutrition programs. Other vendors introduced state-of-the-art energy efficient convection ovens which are taking the place of deep fat fryers across the country.
Needless to say, it's been a whirlwind experience. I can't wait for next year's ANC in Dallas, TX!
One day later and ANC is still abuzz regarding the second general session. Erik Wahl, who uses art to encourage professionals to tap into their creativity, gave an exciting presentation. The attendees were wowed by his inspirational words and live painting - featuring the music of U2, Coldplay, Peter Gabriel and more! At the end of his presentation, he received not one, but two standing ovations. We hope that audience members took to heart his message, most importantly: "Stop trying to be perfect, and try to be remarkable!"
Were you at the second general session? What did you take away from Erik Wahl's presentation? Share your thoughts in the comments section!
At the school nutrition event of the year, there is so much to see and do. Along with visiting the largest exhibition floor in the school nutrition industry, convention-goers attended a plethora of education sessions that cover a range of topics affecting the profession. Some of the sessions at this year's conference included:
These are just a few of many great education sessions at ANC this year. What was your favorite? Post a comment below to let us know!
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but this...we just have to share. Every year, SNA state presidents work tirelessly to further the mission of the Association. In the spirit of Las Vegas, we decided to kick things up a notch and bring in a few fan favorites to help honor these incredible individuals.
Who better to do that than Sonny and Cher circa 1970! Decked out in sequins and shag, the dynamic duo took the stage with a fantastic rendition of "I've Got You Babe" and presented the Thelma Flanagan Gold Achievement Award, the Louise Sublette Award of Excellence and the Heart of the Program Award to honorees from over 40 states. Talk about making an entrance! Honorees hit the catwalk in style rubbing elbows with "The King" himself - Mr. Elvis Presley. Where else but Vegas can you share the spotlight with not one, not two, but three pop icons!?
If you missed the action this morning, don't fret. Rumor has it that Elvis is in the building for the remainder of the day. Look for a white bejeweled jumpsuit and matching cape/cumberbund combo. Also be sure to congratulate your colleagues and thank them for their hard work and unwavering dedication to the cause.

A 12-foot-long bony oarfish typically found in tropical waters washed ashore in Malibu on Sunday, Nov. 28. Laura Wasserman and her son found the fish and called the California Wildlife Center. The Los Angeles County Natural History Museum this week took possession of the serpentine fish and will do tests to figure out its last meal, how it died and why it wandered ashore.

International students, and all postgraduate students, must ensure their applications for campus accommodation are received in the Accommodation Office by 6th August 2011.
If you are an EU student we cannot guarantee you a campus room for the duration of your course unfortunately but we are able to offer you a place for the first year of your course provided you apply by 22 July 2011 if you are an undergraduate or by 6 August 2011 if you are a postgraduate.
For up to date information please visit the Residences website.
Please visit the StudentPad website or phone +44 (0) 121 204 4848 for details.
The British climate is unpredictable and changeable. It is rarely hotter than 26°C at the warmest times of the year and temperatures sometimes drop below 0°C during the winter months. The average September temperatures are 15°C so it can feel cool when you arrive. You will need a variety of clothing for your stay in the UK. It is advisable to dress in several thin layers such as a t-shirt, shirt and jumper so that you can adjust to the different temperatures inside buildings and outside in the fresh air.
You will need to wash your own clothes while you are here (there is a launderette on campus), so choose clothes that are easy to wash and dry because dry-cleaning is expensive in the UK.
Clothing styles at the University are casual but we suggest that you bring your national dress, traditional clothes or a smart outfit for some of the more formal events.
The standard electricity supply in the UK is 220 / 240 volts, 50 cycles AC, and the standard outlet is a 13-amp square 3-pin plug. You may need to bring adapter plugs with you to ensure you can use appliances from home.
Students living on campus are obliged to ensure that any electrical appliances are Portable Appliance Tested (PAT) tested before they can be used. Please read the Conditions of Residence for more details.
If you have a laptop computer that you would like to bring with you, you are advised check that it is compatible with the UK electricity supply and to take out insurance against damage or theft. There are many computers in the University and in the Library which you will be able to access for free, as soon as you have enrolled.
Remember to label clearly any luggage you bring with you: put your UK address on the labels and inside your bags. If you are travelling by air the personal baggage allowance is usually 20 kilos (approximately one large suitcase) and one item of hand luggage (approximately 5 kilos). However, depending on your country of origin and on the airline you are using, some baggage allowances are more generous
You will need bed linen (duvet, duvet cover, pillow, pillowcase and sheet). You will also need pots, pans, crockery and cutlery. You can buy bed-linen packs as you arrive on campus or purchase linen and cooking equipment in the local shops.
The campus bed linen packs cost £25 for a single bed and £30 for a pack suitable for a three quarter sized bed.
Most rooms on campus (in Stafford Tower, Lakeside and New Build 7-bed flats) have single beds (3ft by 6ft 3in). The New Build 5-bed flats have three quarter beds (4ft by 6ft 3in). They are also called Prince beds. We recommend you bring double bed sized bedding with you if you will have a three quarter bed in your room and that you bring a flat (not a fitted) double sheet. Double bed size is 4 ft 6 in by 6 ft 3 in.
You may wish to pack items such as towels, dish cloths, tea towels, coat hangers, a battery alarm clock, a small backpack or rucksack, a torch or flashlight, a good English dictionary, laundry bag and camera.
Students living on campus will be provided with a kettle, iron, toaster, ironing board and microwave.
If you are receiving medical care, please see your doctor before you leave home to get information which you can pass to the University's doctor. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, you should also see your optician to get a copy of your prescription. If you wear contact lenses, you should get advice from your optician on what solutions to use here. Solutions can be expensive in the UK so you may like to bring a supply of your normal contact lens solution with you in your suitcase, not your hand luggage.
Don't forget to bring things that will brighten up your room and remind you of home. You'll also have plenty of new photos to add as your first year goes by!
The local markets in Birmingham sell many different foods from around the world, so you do not need to bring this with you. You will be shown where the markets are during the walking tours of Birmingham in Aston Welcome. If you want to bring certain items of food with you then please look at the Customs section of the UKBA website, as there are many products that you cannot bring in to the UK.
We recommend that you bring:
No more than £400-£500 cash
A bank card which will allow you to take money from a bank cash point or
£400 in travellers' cheques to cover you until you can set up a UK bank account.
A UK bank account can take 7 to 14 working days to set up, and bank drafts can take a further 7 working days to clear (before you can take money out of the account).
Please Note: Cash worth more than 10,000 Euros (including money in other currencies) being brought into the UK from outside the European Union must be declared. Cash means currency notes and coins, cheques, travellers' cheques and bankers' drafts. Those carrying this amount of money must complete a form on arrival, which will be available at ports and airports. If this form is not completed fully or at all, travellers may be fined or money may be taken away from them.
The Luggage Store is available to International and EU/EEA students who wish to store luggage over the summer vacation (after you begin your studies, unfortunately not for advance luggage). It is also available to International and EU/EEA students who wish to store luggage for the duration of a placement year (proof of placement required).
The cost for this service has always been very competitive, and for 2011/12 we will be charging £60 for the Summer store and £100 to leave your luggage with us for the duration of your Placement Year. The cost is for a maximum allowance of up to four standard-sized boxes, which will be provided for you and are included in the storage fee. You may substitute suitcases for some of your boxes if necessary, up to the maximum of 4 items.
Opening hours for deposit and collection, and all other details for the 2012 scheme, will be available on our website nearer the time. Information on private companies offering a storage service will also be available from The Hub.
If you have any questions, please email email@example.com.

Please obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before coming to the UK. This card entitles you to National Health Service (NHS) treatment. You will be eligible for some NHS treatment even if your course lasts less than six months.
Aston University has its own health service, based in the Halcyon Medical Centre ( Halcyon Medical ), which is a 10 minute walk from the campus in the nearest branch of Boots the chemist on High Street. They also offer a 'Satellite Clinic' in room G17 on the ground floor of the University Main Building.
You will be invited to register with Halcyon as part of stage 2 of your enrolment at Aston University. This is a free service as part of the UK's National Health Service. To register with Halcyon Medical, students will need:
Student Card (if this has not been issued then they should take their passports)
Proof of address
They do not expect students to provide any medical evidence but, if you have an ongoing medical condition, it is helpful if you can bring details of your medication etc. If you do not have this, it should not stop you registering, because the staff take a full medical history from each student.
It is sensible to obtain travel insurance before leaving home to cover you for your journey to Birmingham. This will cover delays and medical emergencies, as well as the cost of replacing any belongings that may be lost on route.
You should insure your personal property against breakage, loss or theft as soon as possible after arriving. It is worth obtaining more than one quotation, as the cost and the extent of the insurance cover may vary depending on the type of accommodation you have chosen and the area in which you are living.
Please note: The University is not liable for loss of, or damage to, your personal property anywhere on campus and we strongly recommended that you obtain insurance for your personal property.

Comments about McDavid Hex Impact Knee/Elbow Pad:
I use these knee padds for protection while playing volleyball. After the first dive for a save one of the knee pads had the surface torn up exposing the foam which also shreaded upon impact. These are the poorest quality knee pads I have ever used. They were the only knee pads that I could find that would fit arround my knees (20").

This question stems from Jeff Rubin's earlier MO question and a follow-up that I posted.
The former recalls the following result proved by both Serge Lang (Fundamentals of Differential Geometry, 1999, Springer-Verlag) and Abraham, Marsden, and Ratiu (Manifolds, Tensor Analysis, and Applications, 1988, Springer-Verlag):
Theorem: A connected Hausdorff Banach manifold with a Riemannian metric is a metric space.
That said, consider 27.6 (pdf pp. 262-263) in The convenient setting of global analysis (AMS, 1997), and in particular the example given at the end of it, which concludes with: "Then the same results are valid, but $X$ is now even second countable."
My question: Is this second countable $X$ a counterexample to the above theorem?
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this matter, either by explaining why it fails as a counterexample (offhand, I'd deem this the more likely scenario) or by proving/sketching why it might actually suffice.
Edit 1: Here's a sketch of why one might even consider this example:
If indeed the proposed space $X$ described in 27.6 of the link above is second-countable, then at least one source I have found claims that $X$ would, as a result, admit a Riemannian metric. [NB: It has been pointed out that this source states its claim strictly in the context of finite-dimensional manifolds.] Furthermore, $X$ is described as a modification (where "the same results are valid") of a space that is a connected Hausdorff Banach manifold that is separable and not regular.
To summarize, we might have $X$ as a connected Hausdorff Banach manifold with a Riemannian metric, which is separable and not regular (hence non-metrizable by Urysohn's Theorem), in which case, $X$ would be a counterexample to the above-stated theorem.
Sub-question 1: can anyone find other sources (preferably with proof) that a second-countable connected Hausdorff manifold necessarily admits a Riemannian metric? Alternatively, can anyone find a counterexample to this? [NB: Particularly in the context of infinite dimensional manifolds.]
Sub-question 2: can anyone prove (or sketch a proof of) the connectedness of $X$? Alternatively, can anyone show that $X$ is not connected? [NB: This has been answered: $X$ is connected.]
I'd appreciate even a partial answer to my original question or either of my sub-questions. Also, if you should know (of) anyone who is doing work in this area of mathematics, perhaps you could direct them to my query.
Edit 2: My second sub-question has been answered in the affirmative by Wolfgang Loehr: $X$ is indeed a connected space.
I see numerous mentions of the result mentioned in my first sub-question (that second-countability alone implies a connected Hausdorff manifold admits a Riemannian metric) but I'm wondering whether this is in fact only a theorem for finite dimensional manifolds.
Nonetheless, my initial question still stands: is the space $X$ described in the AMS book on Global Analysis a counterexample to the theorem stated above?
Edit 3: As time winds down on the question's bounty, I wonder whether anyone has helpful thoughts with regard to non-regular manifolds that admit Riemannian metrics. More precisely, how could one prove that $X$ does or does not admit a Riemannian metric?
Post-bounty Edit: I awarded the bounty since my sub-question 2 was answered entirely. There is still no conclusion as to whether or not the space referenced above is a counterexample to the aforementioned theorem, but it is increasingly clear that there is a fair bit of confusion surrounding when theorems about Banach manifolds do or do not extend from the finite dimensional case to the infinite dimensional one.

And no, not Chicago. I'm in South Africa's Windy City of Port Elizabeth or PE, a beautiful spot on the Sunshine Coast. I can see the sea from the window of my hostel room and it's making me quite happy!
I'm staying at Lungile Lodge where I met Carla at reception who showed me to my awesome room. It's got both its own little porch area and also a balcony overlooking the pool. There's a kitchen area too, including a fridge so I'm going to stock up on some water in a while. Because, once again, it's really very hot here!
I'm meeting Ed from the hostel at 4 to go over the awesome itinerary the guys have already put together for me (including whale watching!) so I can add in some things that I'll need for the PDF guide of Port Elizabeth.
Tomorrow I'm off to Addo Elephant Park but I'm pretty sure I'm going to spend a good chunk of tonight checking out the restaurants and bars. Not a bad way to spend a Friday night!

I planned to fly into São Paulo and stay for 3 nights, fly into rio for 3 nights, fly into Cusco and Machu Picchu for 4 nights, fly into bueno Aries and Iguzzua falls for 4 nights before heading back to São Paulo and back to Singapore.
Any one can advise me if this will be any problems with my planning ?
Alternatively I can do it the other way round São Paulo, bueno Aries, cusco, rio and back to São Paulo. I am not sure how different will the trip be if I choose to do this route.
